Middle Schools in St Ignatius K-12 Schools

The St Ignatius K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one middle school, St Ignatius Middle School, which serves 110 students from grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with over 55% of students identifying as Native American. However, the school's academic performance lags behind both district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading proficiency.

St Ignatius Middle School's mathematics proficiency rate of 18.18% is significantly lower than the district average of 25.57% and the state average of 36.59%. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency rate of 24.55% is also below the district average of 28.74% and the state average of 46.03%. While the school's science proficiency rate of 42.11% is higher than the district average, it still falls short of the state average of 37.03%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Montana middle schools over the past three years, indicating ongoing challenges in providing a high-quality education.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $11,492, the low academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school's diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation, is an important factor to consider when analyzing the school's performance and identifying potential areas for improvement. Overall, the data suggests that St Ignatius Middle School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, particularly in the core academic areas of mathematics and reading.
